How the tainted Rajasthan Royals trio performed in the IPL

Sreesanth conceded 19 off just three balls

Now that spot-fixing has reared its ugly head again, in the ongoing Indian Premier League, leading to the arrest of three cricketers, rediff.com takes a look at how S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan performed in the matches they featured in.

The most well-known name among the trio, Sreesanth, has so far featured in seven matches for Rajasthan Royals. The Kerala speedster has taken only five wickets, the two for 20 against Kings XI Punjab at Jaipur being his lone noteworthy performance.

While he was generally expensive, he did not conceded many extras. However, in their away match in Pune, he bowled a no-ball at a crucial juncture.

Robin Uthappa had already hit him for eight runs off the first two balls before the third, a no-ball, was hit to the fence while the resultant free hit, was a waist high full toss that was duly dispatched for a six over square leg.

Surprisingly, having conceded 19 runs, off his first three deliveries, the last three yielded just two more. Job done, indeed!
